What amount to be repaid on a loan of ₹ 12000 for 1½ years at 10% per annum compounded half yearly

Solution:

For Simple Interest:

A = (P × R × T)/100

P = ₹ 12,000

T = 2 years

R = 6% simple interest

where , A = Amount, P = Principal, T = Time period in years and R = Rate percent\

Simple Interest to be paid for 2 years at the rate of 6% per annum

S.I. for 2 years = 2 × 12000 × (6/100)

= 2 × 120 × 6

= 1440

For Compound Interest:

A = P[1 + (r/100)]n

P = ₹ 12,000

n = 2 years

R = 6% compounded annually

Compound Interest to be paid for 2 years at the rate of 6% per annum

A = P[1 + (r/100)]n

A = 12000[1 + (6/100)]2

A = 12000[(100/100) + (6/100)]2

A = 12000 × (106/100) × (106/100)

A = 12000 × (11236/10000)

A = 12000 × 1.1236

A = 13483.20

Compound Interest = A - P

= 13483.20 - 12000

= ₹ 1483.20

Compound Interest - Simple Interest = 1483.20 - 1440

= ₹ 43.20

Given:

The sum = Rs 12,000

Time = \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) years

Rate = 10% p.a.

Formula used:

A = P(1 + R/100)t

Here, A, P, R and t are the Amount, Principal, Rate and time respectively

Concept used:

When compounded half-yearly then,

Rate is half and time is doubled

Calculation:

Rate = 10%/2 = 5% and Time = \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) × 2 = 3 half yearly

Now, A = P(1 + R/100)t

⇒ A = 12000(1 + 5/100)3

⇒ A = 12000 × 21/20 × 21/20 × 21/20

⇒ A = 13891.5

∴ The total amounts to be paid is Rs 13891.50

Example 12 What amount is to be repaid on a loan of Rs 12000 for 1 1/2 years at 10% per annum compounded half yearly. Given Principal = Rs 12000 Here, rate is compounded half yearly. Rate of interest = R = 10/2 % = 5 % & Time = 1 1/2 years = 3/2 years = 3/2 × 2 half years = 3 Amount = P (1+𝑅/100)^𝑛 = 12000 (1+5/100)^3 = 12000 (1+1/20)^3 = 12000 ((20 + 1)/20)^3 = 12000 (21/20)^3 = 12000 × 21/20 × 21/20 × 21/20 = 12 × 21/2 × 21/2 × 21/2 = 3 × 21 × 21 × 21/2 = (63 × 441)/2 = 27783/2 = 13891.5 ∴ Amount = Rs 13,891.50
